Threat ImpactMedium
Range Extent20,000-200,000 square km (about 8000-80,000 square miles)
Number of Occurrences21 - 80
Rank ReasonsA wide ranging species of desert slopes in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico, found locally in low numbers with little threat (AGFD 2012). As of 2015. there are 40 site in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. Habitat degradation is the primary threat.
Range Extent CommentsOccurs in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
Occurrences CommentsJune 27, 2012 Arizona Global review indicates >25 populations. There are 40 occurrences documented by AZNP, as of 2015.
Threat Impact CommentsThe foreseeable threat with the greatest impact is habitat degradation/loss. Threatened by competition with exotic plants such as buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) and thornberry (AGFD 2000). Less steep sites are threatened by livestock habitat degradation, trampling, and grazing (AGFD 2000). Currently in Arizona, threats are low, however, threats in Mexico are buffelgrass conversion leading to fire (AZ Rare Plant Grank Review team 2012).
